The Suzuki Swift has undergone an upgrade, offering a new engine

In terms of exterior design, the innovated swift changed only the grille of the radiator grille with different honeycombs and a more pronounced chrome line, the graphics of the taillights also changed. New is the orange body paint and the looks of the cast wheels.

The mild-hybrid twelve-pack remains at the center of the offer, but due to the reduction of emissions it has undergone significant changes, so it now has the code designation K12D instead of K12C. This means, among other things, the installation of double injection, the valve timing system has been modified.

However, the performance of the unit was also reduced. From the original 66 kilowatts, 90 hp, to 61 kW, 83 hp. The highest torque dropped from 120 newton meters at 4400 rpm to 107 Nm at 2,800 rpm.

The existing 12V mildhybrid device received significant assistance in the form of a larger battery, whose capacity was increased from 3 Ah to 10 Ah. The standard consumption remains at 4.8 l / 100 km.

The composition of the equipment on the Czech market is still a question, but the British representation promises to significantly strengthen the basic level, which has also included LED headlights or adaptive cruise control.

Since 2017, Suzuki has managed to sell 745,000 fourth-generation Swifts in 119 countries. It is manufactured for the European markets at the Sagara plant in Japan.
